Verifying Caster Mold Oscillation Functionality for Casters

DynaFlex Box is a well-proven testing and monitoring device designed specifically for the DynaFlex hydraulic oscillation drive system. This system enables dynamic adjustment of frequency, stroke, and waveform during casting, which is crucial for maintaining optimal performance in steel production. The DynaFlex Box is a standardized tool that ensures the caster mold oscillator unit is delivered from the maintenance workshop in a pre-tested condition.

The DynaFlex Box unit addresses critical challenges faced by steel experts in ensuring the reliability and efficiency of caster mold oscillators. To meet production demands, the caster mold oscillator unit must be pre-tested, and the DynaFlex Box facilitates this by enabling comprehensive monitoring and testing of all functionalities.

The DynaFlex Box is equipped with a user-friendly operation panel featuring a graphic touch display. This panel controls all cylinder movements and verifies interlocks for the correct operation of the hydraulic oscillation cylinders.

DynaFlex Box can be used together with the optionally available Package Checker, which is supplied in a separate Laptop, for automated and repeatable testing. Package Checker also provides detailed test certificates for maintenance, guaranteeing proper operation and peace of mind.

By ensuring full functionality of the hydraulic mold oscillator, the DynaFlex Box with Package Checker enhances the reliability and efficiency of the casting process.

The DynaFlex Box offers a range of features that make it indispensable for steel plant operations.
